Yeah you and me both belong to that part of the club lol. I was fishing all day this glorious day and got the big SKUNK unbelievable.

Try some new lakes and new presentations

 

[Fisshin D]

What are the rules to join? :lol: I fished with Matt last Sat afternoon, and lost every fish I hooked! BUT, and this is a big BUTT! :wink: I took my kids to the pond later in the day to catch some gills, and I hooked into a small bass on a crappie nibble! I let my son finish reeling it in, so "technically" I did not "completely" catch it . So, am I in, or am I out? :lol: :lol: No skunking prior to that this year, except for a quick 20 minute shore outing that I had to cancel as I had a pressing need to evac the lower end, and fast!

 

[danysdman]

Sorry you dont meet the requirments to be a part of the skunks. LOL Weather or not you brought that fish in you both worked on that catch. (shared glory)

 

[SkunkedAgain]

0 for 7. 4 trips to Opeka. 3 trips to the Fox Chain.

 

[FishinMatt]

I was close last night to joining the club. 1 for 8 :shock: :roll:

 

[WrenchingnFishing]

Ive been skunked all year, except a white bass that didnt count/ Im out of the club! I got 2 northerns today. I saw some 30 inch plus ones too.

Yea, but if you get skunked next time out... your back in the club... That's what happened to me! LOL

 

[Fisshin D]

Well, gettin out for a few hours sat AM in the Prowler, Matt!! Hope to see you there shore fishin! The other seat is filled though, sorry..... :wink: I will try my best to get into this club Saturday.....NOT!! :lol: :lol:

[SkunkedAgain]

I have to resign from the club. Caught a nice little 3.5 lb LMB today at a golf course pond. It kinda felt like cheating though. But it felt great to get the skunk off my back.

 

[danysdman]

let me resign too what pond was it ? I will be there tomorrow to catch him .

 

[svslider]

Im just gonna try 2 new ponds a day till I get a bass. Today I tried border collies pond and the pond in front of dicks lombard and got the skunk.

 

[danysdman]

I am going to the Fox to de skunk and retire my presidency lol

 

[WrenchingnFishing]

Im just gonna try 2 new ponds a day till I get a bass. Today I tried border collies pond and the pond in front of dicks lombard and got the skunk.

If you tried border collies pond... I might see ya there next week! :lol:

 

[danysdman]

I would try it if I had some time I dont know how my week is next week.

 

[svslider]

I dunno, the structure in that pond seemed to be plastic bags.

 

[WrenchingnFishing]

Yea, I just got back from there... I brought 4 rods with me, one with a rattle-trap, 1 with a Jign Chompers, 1 with a Senko, and 1 with a 4 inch white tube.

I got the Skunk. But before that I fished a pond near me for about 30 minutes, I saw 3 bass just sitting in about a foot of water along the north shoreline. I couldn't get them to hit a god damn thing :?

I will try again tomorrow.

BTW, I only fished an hour today... earlier. I was too busy getting things ready for tonites party! :mrgreen:

 

[SpecialEd]

My stench is creating neighborhood panic. 5 outings since ice out, and the best I could muster was 2 bass the same size as the Baby -1 I caught them on.

To top it off, I spent a couple hours on a local backwater with my 3 year old this afternoon, and lost the biggest freshwater fish of my life. Tossing a red craw rattletrap up to a mid-lake hump, I got hit hard on a slow retrieve. The fish slowly allowed me to pull it in close enough to get a quick glimpse of what looked to be a 25 to 30 lb catfish (possibly flathead, very wideheaded, and short, but THICK!). It then proceeded to methodically strip all 150 yards of 15 lb. braid right off my Accurist!!!

There was no stopping it, and believe me I tried. It boiled the surface a few times before it disappeared into deeper water and ran me out of line. Hell of a work-out, and left me feeling like a stood-up prom date. :evil:

Better luck next time I guess...........

damn. i lost a nice steelie today after it popped my 6lb flouro. i was not happy. but a 30 lb cat??? man that sux

once while salmon fishing i almost got stripped completely. i then realized i had 20# braid and said the hell with it, and completely locked up my drag. the line held up! braid is extremely tough stuff

 

[SpecialEd]

Well, I was locked up as tight as I wanted to be, thumbed the spool a couple times to get some extra pressure to try and turn her when she slowed a bit, but she was having non-of-it.

Couldn't even chase the fish down, the shoreline I was on was a sort of peninsula, so I would have had to get wet to get any line back.

My son kept telling me it was a shark, lol and he was bummed I didn't get it in too.

That's alright, I never catch anything big, why would today have been any different?!
